Is the Tekton Helm chart published?

[tlawrie]

Is the Tekton helm chart published in a chart repository? currently, the instructions point to cloning the git repository and installing the helm chart from there which isn't entirely useful for automated installs, especially if a dependent chart to another helm chart.

@jacksgt any update when we would be able to publish the chart?

Thanks @sm43. Any update on the ETA for this?

[sm43]

@tlawrie sorry for the delay.
@jacksgt has contributed the helm chart to the project, just waiting for him to give a go.
then we can work on publishing the chart :)

[tlawrie]

Hi @sm43 @jacksgt how are we looking?

[sm43]

@tlawrie I am looking into helm, it is a bit new for me 😅
will try to get this done soon :)

[tlawrie]

Do you have any questions? I've done a helm chart in the past.

Is it in figuring out where to package and host it?

Yeah Currently, I am updating the chart in main branch for the latest released version of operator
and once it works fine was thinking to setup github action for the release
https://github.com/marketplace/actions/helm-chart-releaser
WDYT?

[jacksgt]

Hey folks, thanks for the interest and sorry for the long delay!

I created a PR a while ago that should automatically update the Helm chart for each new version of the operator: #816
Unfortunately, so far no one has tested that PR :-/

Once we have that in place, using the helm-chart-releaser action as suggested above should be fairly straightforward.

hey @jacksgt sorry for that. The PR has a work in progress label due to which I didn't take a look earlier. Let me take a look.

[tlawrie]

Checking back in on this? any movement?

[tlawrie]

Following up on this. Any update?

[sm43]

hey @tlawrie #816 might take time to get merged. automation will take some time to setup as I don't access to the release cluster.

so till then we will update the chart manually and #1006 is for creating a release.
we will be releasing 0.61.0 today or on monday. once that is done, I will update the chart for it.

please feel free to contribute any improvements to chart or chart release workflow. 🙃

Any update on this? Additionally, 0.62.0 from September is not implemented in the chart.

I'm more than happy to help with the Helm Chart. I've done a few over the last couple of months for a couple of OSS projects that had less than ideal installation guides. I'd normally offer to do the standard manifests that users use to install Tekton but as the operator is the recommended way of installing and managing Tekton I'm more than happy to contribute to this as I really like Tekton and I do think that the only thing holding it back from widespread adoption is the complexity of it.

If I can help reduce that complexity of installation into usable Helm Charts, I'd be more than happy to do this. Additionally, I'd like to also implement TektonChains into the chart also? As for me this is the powerful aspect of Tekton that separates it from other CI tools. Let me knows your thoughts.

Hey folks,

this is currently blocked on #1330

We already have a Helm chart: https://github.com/tektoncd/operator/tree/main/chart

and also automated CI for publishing the chart: https://github.com/tektoncd/operator/blob/main/.github/workflows/helm-release.yaml

As mentioned in the issue above, there is currently a minor permission issue with the CI and the repository needs to enable GitHub Pages - then we're good to go!

A working solution has not been announced here yet.

Can someone with permissions please re-activate issue #1330 and mark it fresh... it seems a shame to bury all that work when the only thing blocking publication of the helm charts is permissions and an overzealous bot.

[bdellegrazie]

Raised #1915 which augments this effort by allowing the repository to be used directly via the helm-git plugin.

Is there any news? 😇
